The Chinese Economists society invites submissions for three CES sessions at 2018 ASSA. The 2018 ASSA meetings will be held in Philadelphia, PA, on January 5-7, 2018. Please email your submissions to Dr. Jun Ma at University of Alabama (jma@cba.ua.edu), the CES Program Chair for the ASSA 2018 conference. The submission deadline is May 22, 2017, and the acceptance will be announced by June 21, 2017.

Both individual paper submissions and session proposals are welcome although session proposals will be preferred. All submissions should include an abstract of the paper and the CV, or its web link, of the corresponding author. Session proposals should have a unifying theme, and should include a title for the session and the email contact of the chair/organizer, in addition to abstracts, author and discussant information for all papers of the proposed session.

Submission of papers or proposals requires active CES membership for at least one author of each paper.

Paper presenters must provide their papers to the session chair and discussants no later than December 1, 2017. All session participants must register for the ASSA annual conference.

Finally, we welcome papers and sessions in all fields although a priority will be given to papers that are related in some way to the Chinese economy and connect to a current issue in the economics literature.
